Overview
Join us for a panel discussion with Jonathan Hill and staff from the Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society about the creation of our new graphic novel on the American Revolution in Northampton County. Developed using new scholarly research on eighteenth-century Northampton County, the graphic novel will be distributed to middle school students throughout the county, offering an engaging new way for younger generations to connect with local history.
